He must be absolutely flying in training then and suffering no adverse effects.

Either that, or Emery is conscious of the fact that the Jekyll and Hyde nature of Mustafi dictates that he will offer up a couple of rics tonite after his solid performance on Sunday.

It has generally been overlooked that all too often over the last 3 years in particular, Koscielny was effectively a one man defence.

With the changes to defensive application and mentally that have taken place, he may now have the club environment in which to prove just how good he is. Wishful thinking, maybe, but it seems to have worked for Rob Holding.

On Koscielny, who has not featured this season, Emery says: "We are on a gradual way with him. He’s played two matches with the under-23s. He played 85 minutes on Tuesday and our plan is that he can maybe be with us in the 18 on Saturday.

"Maybe he can play against Qarabag in the Europa League. He’s working with us with very big performances every day in training. He’s playing for the under-23s with a good feeling. The next step is for him to be with us. We need every player and we need also for him to train with us. The next step is playing. He can play with us and be with us normally.

Bernd Leno said he came down before the Spurs game and gave an inspiring speech as well, what a professional and a credit to the club he's been. Hopefully he has a fantastic rest to his career at Arsenal
